IMAGE READING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323295 titled 'IMAGE READING DEVICE
The abstract describes an image reading device that includes a reading section, a light transmitting member, and an airflow generation section. The reading section reads an image of a medium transported in a transport direction, while the light transmitting member is positioned between the transport path and the reading section. The airflow generation section, located on the opposite side of the light transmitting member from the reading section, includes a hole section that generates airflow towards the light transmitting member.
- Reading section reads images of a medium being transported.
- Light transmitting member separates the transport path and the reading section.
- Airflow generation section, with a hole section, generates airflow towards the light transmitting member.
Potential Applications: - Document scanners - Photocopiers - Image processing devices
Problems Solved: - Ensures clear and accurate image reading - Prevents dust or debris from affecting image quality
Benefits: - Improved image quality - Enhanced device performance - Reduced maintenance needs
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Image Reading Devices for Improved Document Processing" This technology can be used in various commercial settings such as offices, libraries, and printing shops to streamline document processing and improve image scanning capabilities.
Questions about Image Reading Devices: 1. How does the airflow generation section contribute to the device's performance?
- The airflow generation section helps to prevent dust and debris from affecting the image quality by directing airflow towards the light transmitting member.
2. What are the potential benefits of using a light transmitting member in an image reading device?
- The light transmitting member helps to ensure that the image is accurately captured and read by separating the transport path from the reading section.
Original Abstract Submitted
a image reading device includes a reading section configured to read an image of a medium transported in a transport direction; a light transmitting member arranged between a transport path on which the medium is transported and the reading section; and an airflow generation section which is arranged on an opposite side of the light transmitting member from the reading section, which includes a hole section positioned facing the light transmitting member, and which is configured to generate airflow from the hole section toward the light transmitting member.
